Egyptian AntIouitIes.

Rev. William b. Hayden delivered very
Interesting lecture on Egyptian Antiqui-
ties' at the New Jerusalem Church vestry
last evening to an audience of good proper
lions, and one, too, that fully appreciated
It, His description of the great famine and
of brickmaking were very graphic. The
lecturer summed up With the statement that
the study of Egyptian antiquity was most
interesting as affording an extended con-
firmatien of the Bible. The manners and
customs, and geography are the same, the
historical illusions in agreement The lit
erature affords sentences that remind one
forcibly of the phrases and passages in the
Scriptures, while it is clear that the writer
of the Pentateuch must have been familiar
with just such world of thought moral
ideas, religious usage and civil affairs as
that which is disclosed to us by the monu-
ments thus proving that Moses was indeed
instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyp-
tiansn

4 Novel Proceeding,

a proceeding that was new, but appa-
rcntly good law and good policy, was had
last week before Judge Presley. Some
days ago the attorneys for Mr. George
Johnstonc, in investigating some rumorcd
threats made by John b. Jones, asked Mr.
W. II. Hunt, DR., privately, if he had heard
the deceased use threats. IIc replied that
he had not. He was then asked if he had
heard anyone say the deceased used threats.
lie replied that he had; but when further
questioned as to his informant, he declined
to answer on the ground that the informal
tion was given him in confidence and to
reveal the source information of his infOr-
nation would be Il breach Of confidence
The attorneys then obtained from Judge
| trcsslcy rule against Mr.. Hunt requiring
him to show cause why he should not dis
close the persons name. Before return
was made to the rule, Mr.. $. A. BOOzer
came forward voluntarily and acknow-
lodged to The attorneys that he was the per
son, and expressed his willingness to tell
them all he hncW in the case; and this set.
tied the matter. -&c'O6e1Ty Observer.

A NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one
for about thirteen years. At interals of
about one week would be attacked with
spells Of severe and most excruciating
pain, always commencing in the region
OF my kidneys. The pain would then go
upwards and affect my body and head,
and seemed to penetrate my worry eye
balls, creating the most intense suffering,
lasting about eight hours each spell.
l. resorted to oil kinds of medicine
without benefit. Several doctors treated
my case, but none gave relief. finally
used IS. Is. Is. as an experiment, and to
my utter astonishmcnt all pain and suf-
tering vanished after using three doses.
70 the present time L have used three
bottles, and not pain has ever return
ed. [ do not know what was the r1nttnr
neither could my physician name The
complaint. The B. j. B. acted finely
and powerfully upon my Kidneys; nv
appetite has been splendid and ny con
stitution built up rapidly.
